Other Employment Cases We Handle

In addition to those listed above, the attorneys at Florin Gray Bouzas Owens, LLC are also adept at handling cases involving:

  • Whistleblower Retaliation: Whistleblowers are protected by law. Our attorneys can help ensure that your rights are protected under those laws.
  • Disabilities, Failure to Accommodate: Employers are required to provide workers with reasonable accommodations for religious observances and practices, and for employees with disabilities. A failure to provide these legally mandated accommodations is discriminatory.
  • Retaliation: If you have filed a complaint with the EEOC or OSHA and were then demoted, fired, your wages reduced or other retaliatory action, your rights have been violated and a legal action can be filed against your employer to seek compensation.
  • FMLA Retaliation: The Family and Medical Leave Act protects you from suffering employment consequences from requesting time off to deal with a family emergency, for filing a claim, or exercising your rights under the Act.

Both state and federal laws are in place to protect the rights of employees. Issues related to payment of fair wages, unpaid overtime, harassment, discrimination, retaliation or wrongful termination are difficult to experience, personally and financially. If you have been the victim of a rights violation by your employer, it is imperative that you have legal representation to assist you to pursue full and fair compensation.

This morning I found my expectations surpassed as I met with one of the attorneys at this firm, Hunter. During our consultation, he was very considerate and empathetic to my situation. He made me feel very comfortable and his high-level of knowledge gave me confidence in choosing my next step. I also had a great experience on the phone yesterday with the kind lady who took my information and details of my situation. Altogether from the moment, their assistant picked up the phone to meeting Hunter, it was a great experience. I am so grateful for this choosing this place and definitely recommend it.

Christina G.

Greg and Lindsay were wonderful to work with on my wrongful termination case! I highly recommend Greg, not only is he a wonderful attorney at getting the ball rolling to get the case settled as quickly and favorably as possible but he is great with communicating every detail along the way. Great guy! Lindsay was fast and efficient at getting all the paperwork and payment taken care of! Great team!

Milissa M.

Chris Gray and Wolf Florin are very professional attorneys who treat their clients like family and are truly genuine on making sure justice is served for the working class. They are detail-oriented, attentive, and have incredible integrity representing employees who have been wrongly treated by their employers. If you need an ethical attorney to represent you, they are the ones to go to!

Diony N.

Chris Gray is an outstanding attorney and did a great job representing me in my business law case. Debbie Del la Rosa was the paralegal assigned and she was very knowledgeable and professional. She was always quick to return questions when they arose. The team handled my case efficiently and got it to judgement quicker than I ever expected. Chris was well versed in employment rights and it showed throughout the entire process. Thanks again for all your hard work and expertise. I would highly recommend this firm.

Barry M.

Attorney Chris Gray and team was phenomenal. Very professional, and most important very attentive. The firm doesn’t actually treat you like a number and just want to take your money, they actually care and provide first class service. Chris was available anytime I needed him or had questions for him. Chris’s assistant Debbie was fantastic, she always kept you in the loop with phone calls and emails. Chris and his team followed through and stayed with you all the way to the end and afterwards. If your looking for white glove service and best results, Attorney Chris Gray and company is your firm. Thank you Chris and Debbie.

Josh F.

I just wanna say I’m very thankful for Miguel Bouza and his time and was so pleased with his work along with the paralegal Gina. The best!!

I couldn’t thank you enough for all of your help!! 5 stars was well deserved! I highly recommend this firm! Thank you guys again!!

Katelin N.

Chris Gray was absolutely great to work with! If you want someone who will be honest & work as hard as they possibly can, then this is the firm for you. Honesty is the biggest factor when dealing with or selecting an attorney. He was very informative and kept me in the loop every step of the way. His legal assistant Debbie was also a joy to work with, as you can imagine attorneys are quite busy & she was there every step of the way. I highly recommend. 10/10.

Remi W.

Wolf and his staff are amazing! Wolfgang believed in me when no one else did. He was the 5th attorney I went to and he believed I had a case! He is knowledgeable, honest, and very helpful through the process. Although lawsuits are not pleasant but it was a breeze having Wolf and his team by my side. His paralegal Debbie was there to answer my questions and console me when I was down and give me prep talks! She always said “you’re in the best hands…. trust me!” She was absolutely right! I would HIGHLY recommend this firm!

Carrie D.

FGBO exceeded expectations.

Each person I met in the firm treated me kindly, professionally, and was comitted to providing exceptional legal service.

Chris Gray impeccably cared for my case. He was attentive and communicated every step of the way, ensuring I felt well-informed and at ease. Mr. Gray’s legal talent, expertise, and experience, together with his zealous dedication and compassion, was extraordinary.

Mr. Gray and his law partner, Wolfgang Florin, are examples of “the good ones.” They both took personal pride in the reputation of their profession and demonstrated the power of ethical, intelligent, and gifted attorneys “doing the right thing.”

The strong team at FGBO is smart, strategic, and achieves results. I am grateful to have had FGBO on my side and highly recommend this firm.

TCS FLA

I had a wonderful experience with Florin Gray Bouzas Owens. My attorney was Scott Terry. He is very professional and responsive. My questions were always answered and he would always keep me up to date with everything throughout the whole time. Debbie, the Legal Assistant was also awesome. She was very nice and professional as well. She always emailed and called me when needed. I highly recommend Scott Terry and if anyone is looking for an attorney this is your firm to contact!

Christina O.

I am so blessed and lucky to of found this law firm! About four years ago I was in a car accident. I actually started with another lawyer and had a miserable experience. It was almost a year and nothing was being done. I was in a lot of pain, and had very little if no communication with my previous lawyer. Being naive, I just assumed that was how the legal system worked. A family friend introduced me to Chris & Hunter and immediately I realized I needed to have them on my team. They cared about me, listened to me, and had amazing communication. I worked closely with Hunter & Daniella, and they were on top of communications, deadlines, and took the extra time to really explain to me the process and what was happening with my case. I must of asked a million questions, but they were patient and always had an open line of communication. My case recently settled- and I am truly thankful for them. Do your research, don’t be naive like I was with my first lawyer. If you need representation, I strongly encourage you to reach out to their office. You will be treated like family and not disappointed at all!

Rebekah N.

I found this firm through a Google search and thank God for that! I knew as soon as I spoke with Gina that this was the group for me. I went in and met with Wolfgang and Gina, they were very considerate and caring from the start. My case went along for about 18 months and there was never a time when I could not communicate with either Gina or Wolf, in fact they go out of their way to keep you very informed about what is going on with your case. This is definitely not what you would think a typical law firm is like for sure. I hope I never need a lawyer again, if I do i am only using this firm! They got results and did not allow the lawyers on the other side to dictate what was going on! If you are going thru something and need someone you can trust, call Wolfgang and Gina, you will NOT be disappointed! Thanks guys for making a hard situation a little easier!

Todd L.

This was my first experience dealing with a law firm of any kind. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone. I dealt mostly with Miguel Bouzas and couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Communication was never an issue, phone or email, and the workload on my end was minimal. My injury made it difficult to get to their office so he met me at my residence. From day one to cases closed my expectations were met. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Nicky H.

We love this firm…everyone we worked with has been really empathetic as well as professional. Our attorney Hunter Higdon personally kept in touch with us throughout the entire case and made sure we got the best outcome possible.
We highly recommend this firm and especially Hunter…a big 5 stars!

Risa D.

Scott Terry is a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to zealously advocate for me, but also he has an empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Terry without reservation.

Sam B.

I would like to thank Hunter Higdon, Chris Gray, and Pam for the wonderful job they did handling of my mother’s trip and fall case. They were able to review photographs of the scene of the fall and notice significant code violations that I don’t believe other attorneys would have seen. The quick outcome far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this firm for any of your personal injury or employment discrimination claims. Again, thank you so much for the wonderful job.

Susan C.

Was a Great pleasure to work with Chris Gray and Debbie, they were very professional and I was very pleased with the work they did for me, would encourage anyone to reach out if they feel they were wronged. Thank you very much for all you did for me, Cindy

Cindy T.

Mr. Gray and his team are amazing!!!! Debbie is the sweetest in the world and always available to help in anyway she can. I am extremely impressed with how my case was handled and the timely manner it took. I would give 10 stars if I could and would most definitely recommend this firm. Thank you all again for all the hard work you all have put in!

Without any reservation, Wolfgang Florin has my highest recommendation.

Simply put, you hope you never need an attorney. But, at some point, most of us do. It’s then, in that moment of need, the attorney you hope for is Wolfgang Florin. For a situation that we never expected to have, Mr. Florin and his team handled our case with compassion, tact, candor, and tenacity. While the legal outcome exceeded our expectations, it was the personal attention, sense of urgency, and genuine way in which Mr. Florin handled our case that elevated him to be someone we now consider a trusted confidant. Mr. Florin and his team will be my first call if ever we need legal counsel in the future.

Choosing Greg Owens as my attorney was the right decision.

Working in an industry which expected its employees to work well beyond the hours the industry was willing to compensate you for, it would have been easy to throw in the towel.  But working with Greg Owens made me realize there is nothing wrong with making corporate America accountable.  He and his team also have a knack of making legal language easy to understand.  Choosing Greg Owens as my attorney was the right decision.

Attorney Gray's expertise and vast legal knowledge of the unique aspects of my case resulted in a significant settlement.

Several law firms told me I didn’t have a viable case. I had almost given up but then Attorney Christopher Gray took the time to analyze my case by developing a successful strategy. Attorney Gray’s expertise and vast legal knowledge of the unique aspects of my case resulted in a significant settlement. I would’ve saved a lot of time by contacting this law firm from the very beginning.
